Welcome to AnimeStyle Pro!

Animaid by Cindy H. YamauchiWelcome to an early PREVIEW of AnimeStyle Pro, the new anime/manga-style drawing instruction site from the staff of the REGION FREE Japan Artists Network. REGION FREE is host to an annual shikishi (autograph board) auction, but rather than host it on that site like last year, we’ve decided to use it to help introduce everyone to our new endeavor. The auction, as well as T-shirts and other goods featuring our exclusive AniMaid mascot can be found in the Store.

We have a great deal of content in various stages of development, so what you see here is barely the tip of the iceberg. We will be posting updates and unlocking new sections until we are ready to officially launch with a combination of free and premium content.
